BigMacGyver 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 From the FSM news letter for former charter members:"Coming Soon- Next month are two Silver Agetitles from the 60's, but both have symphonicsweep that would make them must-haves to filmmusic fans of any age. ONE OF THEM IS A 3CDSET FOR $34.95 SO PLAN YOUR BUDGET ACCORDINGLY."The release of Williams' score for Goodbye, Mr. Chips from FSM has long been speculated. According to latest rumours, the release was delayed due to additional material that has been discovered and maybe this is a good reason why the announced 3-CD set could contain this 60's williams work.

robthehand 3 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I hope so. Well actually I hope they release it in about 6 months, for my wallet's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Goodbye Mr. Chips isn't such a long score that it would span 3 CDs, now is it?Maybe it would be the other title. They speak of two titles being released, one of them spanning 3 CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I haven't seen the film, but its quite long isn't it? Alternates, perhaps? Doesn't sound very FSM-like at all... 3 discs for one score? This is going to kill me for the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I don't know how long the complete score actually runs but I understand there are several songs in that musical film and there tend to be more than just one version of a song (instrumental, film version, single version, etc).Maybe the album material from the LP differs so much from the actual film recording that they included both (for example, if it contains the complete score in mono and album tracks in stereo). There might be an entirely alternate recording like with Mutiny On The Bounty.But yeah, maybe it is something entirely different. El Cid comes to mind.

nightscape94 965 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 It may include the songs by Bricusse too, which could justify the length.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 That's not from the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hw about Hook,3 c.d. set.k.M.That would be a dream come true. I'm content with the bootlegs for the time being, but it would fantastic to have a professional digital remastering of the studio tapes, and even an alternate SACD DVD to accompany the set.

King Mark 3,631 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 The Hook (Concorde)bootleg sounds like crap.Heavy digital hiss reduction was used.It's A bit better than the Indy 3 boot but nowhere near c.d. quality.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 but nowhere near c.d. quality.No, I know that. And the Hook album is a good seller, too, so I can reasonably imagine them releasing an expanded set without the worry of losing money. This score is always in high demand.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I am afraid an expanded set of Hook is not going to happen in the near future, at least not from FSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hook is neither "Silver Age" nor anything FSM would be able to release.Marian - who would buy a 3CD Spartacus.8O The Blue Max (Jerry Goldsmith) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 56 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I LOOOOOOOOOVE that musical. It makes me soo happy and I have a crappy recording :-(...I hope this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 People over at the FSM board take GMC as a serious possibility for that 3-CD set and FSM'ers have always been good at playing guessing games.As far as budgeting is concerned, i will most certainly not be able to toss out 34,95 after varese released the club CDs on march 6th.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 A 3 CD set of Mr. Chips?I can understand a 3 CD release of Mutiny On The Bounty, but this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 There were at least two recording schedules, one before shooting, another after. So only with that, one probably have material for a three CD set.Well, a really bad time for me... Haven't ordered yet "Bell, Book and Candle", and "Not with My Wife...", and around the corner here comes another Williams work... What can I do with all the bills to pay... maybe I should rob a bank!

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Of course she doens't... in the other hand, Romão does, and he's coming over this afternoon...So I should be ready for some blackmailing -- I can imagine him already asking for all of my Williams collection, as a payment for his silence...
